1. Introduction to Desktop Development with .NET

In this section, we will learn what MAUI is, and how to set up a .NET MAUI application. We will also look at the structure of an MAUI application, and in the end, we will learn how to add some basic elements to our UI. This section will prepare us for the rest of the course where we will be working with more practical concepts.

What is .NET MAUI?

Setting up a MAUI Project

Understanding the Structure of a MAUI Project

Understanding XAML and Adding Elements

Task - Adding Elements in a MAUI Application

2. Interactive GUI

In this section we will learn about delegates, events and data binding. Using this knowledge we will learn how to make interesting interactive GUI applications.

Task - Defining Delegates

Task - Binding Event Handlers to Events

Task - Creating a Custom Event

Task - Practicing Data Binding

3. Threading

In this section, we will learn what Threading is and how to use it to keep our applications responsive, and run smoothly while performing resource intensive tasks. We will see how to differs from other similar concepts on C# and what are good practices when implementing Threading in our application. There will also be some interesting tasks to help us in understand this concept on a deeper level.

What is Threading?

Creating and Using Threads

Task - Preventing Program Freezes Using Threading

Asynchronous Programming vs Threading

The lock Statement

4. Generics & Reflection

In this section, we will learn how to make more robust methods, classes and other objects which can work multiple types of input data types, by first learning about Generics and how to implement generic classes, then we will move on to Reflection and how to use reflection for further improving the capabilities of our programs.

What are Generics?

Implementing Generic Methods

The syntax for creating a Generic Method is as follows:

index


              123
            
returnType methodName<typeParameter1, typeParameter2, ..>(datatype1 arg1, ..) {
    // code here
}

You can have one or more type parameters in a generic method.

We can execute generic methods as follows:

index


              1
            
methodName<typeParameter1, ..>(arg1, ..);

Following is a summary of how we can convert a simple Swap method to a generic method, which can support any data type:

We don't necessarily need to use the type parameters (like T) for defining the arguments. In fact there can be generic methods with no arguments at all:

index


              123
            
void ExampleMethod<A, B, C> () {
    // Code here
}

It is not possible to directly use any kind of operators on arguments or variables defined using generic types:

index


              123
            
void ExampleMethod<A, B> () {
    return A + B; // Error
}

Everything was clear?
